Their Coffee Is More Toxic Than Glyphosate Last week Del Bigtree (@delbigtree) and Food Babe (@foodbabe) rallied outside the Supreme Court against glyphosate. I've met these people. I exposed them in my films. They are not honest brokers. And they weren't alone. Cory Booker (@corybooker) and AOC (@aoc) are taking the bait on Glyphosate as evil— politicians I respect on a lot of issues. But not on this one. The science doesn't care about your team. The global scientific consensus is clear: the EPA, EU, Canada, Japan, and Australia have all concluded glyphosate does not cause cancer at real-world exposures. Oh — and their coffee is more toxic than glyphosate. Scientifically speaking. More receipts coming. Including a deep dive into IARC — the organization behind the "probable carcinogen" claim — and why they'll be front and center in my next project: TOXIC Stay tuned. @marklynas @bayer #Glyphosate #Roundup #FoodEvolution #ShotInTheArm #MAHA #PeopleVersusPoisin #FoodScience #ScienceMatters #Monsanto #IARC #SupremeCourt

@Romy_Holland I’ve lost all my grandparents, and would give quite a lot to hear the same old stories again. Dad is 91, and the stories are winding down, but I always listen. Y’all are lucky to have stories to listen to.

okay so i think the boomer conversational trait at the root of many problems is a total failure to even attempt to model whether the people around them care about what they’re saying. they tell the same old stories 100x and deep down they definitely know you’ve heard it, but it just feels so good to be talking that they go for it. in the absence of the thought process “would this person enjoy hearing this story?” the only factor that matters is how it feels for them to talk. same thing for the constant narration of everything that’s happening and the constant questions about tiny stuff and the random pieces of mundane information about ppl you don’t know. toddlers do the same thing before they develop complete theory of mind. idk if this is the consequence of some sort of old age cognitive regression or if boomers were just socialized really poorly.

@FreeTradeBryan Might check his former employers. Helped them lobby for countervailing duties on phosphorous. Strangely enough, those tariffs didn’t come up today.

I don’t see USTR Greer on that stage…
Secretary Brooke Rollins@SecRollins

American farmers and ranchers are getting squeezed by rising fertilizer costs and fewer choices. In the 1980s, nearly 50 U.S. nitrogen producers competed in the market—today, just 4 control 75%. For potash, only 2 firms dominate nearly the entire supply. Our farmers need more options, more competition, and more predictability—especially during critical spring planting when every decision counts. The entire Administration is moving at “Trump speed” to deliver real solutions and put farmers first! 🚜🇺🇸

@FreeTradeBryan @USTradeRep @USDAForeignAg I’ve been trying to figure that out as well. One ag economist told me they are counting promised purchases from various trade agreements. I’m going to try to pay my repair bills with those promises, but I’m not optimistic.

@SethMeyerMU As far as I’m concerned this a feature, not a bug. When farm level prices increase, (and they will, right?) the consumer won’t notice. Wall Street rewards companies with essential products that are able to increase prices without making much difference to the final buyer

Not that it is vastly different, but the better way ( in my view) is to look at this in the ERS marketing bill not just commodity sales, some farms derive income upstream from those commodities. But it is still only 11.8 cents (but double the too narrow definition below).

1/ In 2024, USDA estimates that #farmers and ranchers received a combined 5.8 cents of every #food #dollar, down slightly from 5.9 cents in 2023. From the @FarmBureau: tinyurl.com/yc52r344

@1farmbusiness @BrianWillott when the price of corn goes up I sell at the Market price. Why would we expect fertilizer companies to not sell existing inventory at market price? If the war ended tomorrow and the world price dropped, farmers will expect the retail price to drop to the world price and it will

@BrianWillott 90% of the N is already in the county. The US makes its own UAN and anhydrous. The price rise is opportunistic pricing by an oligopoly.

#Farmers, can you buy nitrogen today? Have you asked for a price? Has anyone been told you might not get what you prepaid? Just checking to see where we really are.

@iamyourfarmer I’m really trying to decide whether, at 68, I have the energy and time to figure it out and use it on my farm. I’m intimidated by the guys who are so far ahead that I’m not sure I can catch up.

@iamyourfarmer I’m not trying to be difficult. I really enjoy your feed and I think you are one of the smartest guys I follow. I’m concerned about AI, but also think there are great opportunities. I think people investing billions now will lose their shirts, but we’ll all eventually benefit.

@iamyourfarmer 1.6 million people get laid off every month. Usually a few more people than that start new jobs. Box had 2800 employees, I think. Churn is normal. Could it get worse? Sure. But I’m not convinced that the end is nigh

@HurstBlake Box just laid off 40% of their workforce yesterday. I assume pretty damn good jobs because their severance seemed pretty good. Where do those people go get jobs at? The next company that cut their work force by 40%.

I’m looking forward to this. Lots of discussion about whether we have strong evidence that glyphosate is carcinogenic for humans, in the dose and method it’s currently employed. I don’t know and hence why I try and listen to experts on both sides of the debate. I tend to follow Bradford-Hill criteria for causality. How do you personally ascertain causality?

Family farmers are up against it. Lower commodity prices and rising input costs are hurting us—the last thing we need is for our crop protection tools to be taken away. Read about why access to these tools is so important: modernagalliance.org/news-resources…

@FreeTradeBryan A friend of mine had a chance to meet with her. Asked if I had anything to say. I told him that he might tell her, in genuine Missouri style, to “to cut out the happy horseshit.” If my advice was delivered, it was obviously ignored.

And now, a word from the worst U.S. Ag Secretary since the New Deal, Bailout Brooke Rollins:
Secretary Brooke Rollins@SecRollins

Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling against one form of tariff, we are not backing down — not even for a second. We’re doubling down on rebalancing global trade so it finally works for America. That means fair deals that put our farmers and ranchers first: protecting family farms, strengthening rural economies, and ensuring American agriculture leads the world again. 🌰 Tree nut exports are up 11%. ⛽️Ethanol exports are up 11%. 🥛Dairy exports are up 15%. 🌽And corn exports are up 29%! America's agricultural trade balance deteriorated dramatically under Biden, shifting from a surplus during President Trump's first term, to a predicted $50 billion agricultural deficit just last year. Thankfully, due to a lot of hustling around the world by the President and our team, we were able to shrink that deficit down to $41.5 billion, and we are forecasting that it will drop to $37 billion in 2026! Our heartland grows the products that feed, fuel, and clothe the nation. I am grateful to @POTUS for putting them first. 🇺🇸 #AmericanFarmers #FairTrade

@iamyourfarmer Yep. I don’t sell bids. And usually won’t rebid on the other side of the transaction.

I think this is one of the the most asshole things you could possibly do. You reward the guy who marked your prices up by giving him a chance to match a competitor. I give guys 1 shot on the bid and the other guy will never know their price it’s between me and them.
Grant Wiese@gwiesefarms

You can remain loyal to your input provider and still get better prices. Get a 3rd party quote, then run it buy your provider of 20 years to see if they will match. You can be loyal if they will be loyal.
